CVE-2025-7522 is a SQL Injection vulnerability identified in version 1.13 of the PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System, specifically within the /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php file. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization or validation of the 'fromdate' and 'todate' input parameters, which are used to generate reports based on date ranges. An attacker can remotely manipulate these parameters to inject malicious SQL code, potentially altering the intended database queries. This can lead to unauthorized data access, data modification, or even complete compromise of the underlying database. The vulnerability does not require user interaction and can be exploited without authentication, increasing its risk profile. Although the CVSS 4.0 score is 5.3 (medium severity), the exploitability is straightforward due to low attack complexity and no required privileges. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent, as the vector is network-based and the scope is local to the application database. No public exploits are currently known in the wild, but the exploit details have been disclosed publicly, which may increase the likelihood of exploitation in the near future. The lack of an official patch or mitigation from the vendor at this time further exacerbates the risk for users of this system.

For European organizations using the PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System version 1.13, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of their parking management data. Unauthorized access to sensitive information such as vehicle details, user records, or financial transactions related to parking could lead to privacy violations and regulatory non-compliance, especially under GDPR. Additionally, attackers could manipulate or delete records, disrupting parking operations and causing availability issues. Since the system is often integrated with physical access controls and billing systems, exploitation could have cascading effects on operational continuity and security. The remote exploitability without authentication means attackers can target exposed administrative interfaces directly, increasing the attack surface. Organizations relying on this system for critical infrastructure management or public parking services may face reputational damage and financial losses if exploited.

Organizations should immediately audit their deployment of PHPGurukul Vehicle Parking Management System to identify if version 1.13 is in use. Until an official patch is released, the following specific mitigations are recommended: 1) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'fromdate' and 'todate' parameters, focusing on typical injection payloads such as tautologies, union selects, and comment sequences. 2) Restrict access to the /admin/bwdates-reports-details.php endpoint by IP whitelisting or VPN-only access to reduce exposure. 3) Employ input validation and sanitization at the web server or proxy level to enforce strict date format checks (e.g., YYYY-MM-DD) on these parameters. 4) Monitor database logs for unusual query patterns or errors indicative of injection attempts. 5) Prepare for rapid patch deployment once the vendor releases an update by maintaining an inventory of affected systems. 6) Consider isolating the parking management system database from other critical systems to limit lateral movement in case of compromise.
